Caryn Adler, a longtime genealogist, will lead a program called, “Genealogy and the Underground Railroad: The Dash Between the Dates” at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 6, at the Cass District Library, which is located on Michigan Highway 62 in Cassopolis.

The program, which focuses on the rich history of the Underground Railroad in Cass County, will describe one family’s journey from its pre-Civil War southern roots to twentieth century Cass County, using tools readily available to genealogists.

Adler has been researching dead relatives for nearly 40 years, amassing more than 7,000 names in her family tree. She shares her passion for genealogy with senior groups, historical and genealogical societies and at special programs.

As Life Enrichment Director at Brentwood Assisted Living in Niles, Adler helps the residents use modern tools to construct their own family trees.

The program is free all are invited.
